Acids that are from foods and drinks and those produced by bacteria in your mouth will cause tooth decay. It's best to brush at least twice a day and floss at least once a day to help prevent those acids from boring holes in your tooth enamel.

4 year old has decay in upper front tooth should tooth be removed or root canal?

If the tooth can be saved with a root canal (pulpotomy) or other treatment, it should be done. The adult tooth that will replace this baby tooth may not erupt until the child is six or seven years old, and the dental arch may shrink if the baby tooth is lost too soon. This will lead to problems when the adult tooth erupts and the child may require extensive and expensive orthodontic treatment to correct the problems.
